AMD 7970 or released ahead of schedule on the 22nd of this month

There are many different opinions about the specifications and release time of the AMD Radeon HD 7900 series. However, most of them think that they will debut in early January of next year, that is, after the CES 2012 exhibition. However, VR-Zone revealed today that AMD changed its mind at the last moment. Decided to advance the Radeon HD 7970 ahead of schedule on the 22nd of this month.

It is understood that AMD decided to make the decision mainly to end 2011 with the "best CPU and best GPU" reputation. The former actually everyone understands, and the latter can be said as long as it can issue Radeon HD 7970 in name. AMD CEO Rory Read has made it clear that the 28nm GPU is fully shipping, but also enough to support the release of the new card.

According to the latest statement, the Radeon HD 7970 will be released on December 22, 2011, but if you plan to use it as a Christmas gift, there may be some difficulties because only a very small amount of products will be available after the release. The real mass distribution still has to wait until January 9, 2012, and that day Radeon HD 7950 will be officially released.

Yesterday we also said that the Radeon HD 7950 will open up non-public version designs from the very beginning. Graphics manufacturers can freely adjust the frequency, memory capacity, and heat sink, but this also means that more design and test time are needed, so it is not possible during the year. Co-starting, but there are sources that Radeon HD 7970/7950 will come at the end of this month.

Anyway, it is a mess now. At least it will take a week before it becomes clear.
